San Diego State is set to conclude its regular season with a crucial three-game series against UNLV, taking place from May 14-16. The Aztecs need just one victory to secure the outright Mountain West regular-season championship, having already achieved at least a share of the title with a recent win over San José State. First-year head coach Kevin Vance has led the team to its fourth overall title and first since 2023. Regardless of the weekend's results, SDSU is guaranteed the No. 1 seed for the upcoming Mountain West Championship. This series marks the final matchups as members of the Mountain West Conference.
